Jacob A. Barandes

Physicist at Harvard University who developed the "Stochastic-Quantum Correspondence," a research program (2023, extended with collaborators through 2026) arguing that every quantum system is mathematically equivalent to a sufficiently general, non-Markovian (history-dependent) classical stochastic process. Matters to this vault as the author of a peer-reviewed, independently-reasoned precedent for the same high-level shape of result that Sebastian Horvat's 2026 preprint reaches by a different route — a locality-respecting theory that still permits Bell-inequality violations once history-dependence enters the dynamics. Horvat's own paper names Barandes's program as a rival approach to the same target, not as support for his result.
